\"\"FOTOGRIN \/\/ ShutterstockCities with the fastest-growing home prices in the Reading metro area<\/p>\n

The real estate frenzy spurred by the coronavirus pandemic continues, though at a slower pace. Buyers are still competing for a limited supply of housing, driving up prices for affordable properties.<\/p>\n

The typical home value in the United States was $361,371 in February, 0.4% higher than the year before.<\/p>\n

Increasing mortgage rates have slowed growth, with prices even declining in some places. But some areas are still seeing price jumps compared to the year before.<\/p>\n
